The White House seems to be making moves to outlaw trans affirming care for all Americans under 18, claiming they and their right wing, religious extremists know more about what's good for trans kids than the kids, their families, and their doctors all working according to established standards.

The woman in the viral video complaining about a trans woman running in the Boston Marathon finished nearly an hour & a half ahead of the woman she claimed had an unfair advantage. She ran a sub-3 hour marathon & is complaining about a masters athlete! Natalie! Babe! How are you not embarrassed??

Major good news for my transmasculine readers. The Washington State Democrats have informed me that the bill will cover 6-month supply stockpiles of testosterone as well. They were unable to get 12-month supply stockpiles due to its controlled status, but it WAS upgraded from 3 to 6 months.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Bane of my K-12 existence. I was deeply ashamed that my mama bought us no-name shoes from here 😭 Kids back then were brutal about not wearing designer labels and there was no online escape for the torture. 3 &4 decades later, I’m telling you, the indignity of those Payless “gym shoes” still bites.

I’m actually from a tiny (<2000) town in semi-rural PA where the biggest employer when I was growing up was the state prison. So I can speak to this one with a lot more authority than this author. It’s got almost zero to do with abstractions like their “ way of life”. I can tell you what they say…

Oh cool, here's an @npr.org editor saying flat out that giant nationwide protests aren't "compelling" unless there's some kind of crime or vandalism, ie, unless there's a right-wing spin to put on it. If it's merely hundreds of thousands of citizens exercising their right to protest, meh, boring.

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

I think its easy to mistake UK transphobes as being opposed to "men" in women's spaces but what they really oppose is trans women and trans femininity specifically, and the biggest tell is they speak to and about trans women in a way they never would a man
